Apex court orders ND Tiwari to undergo DNA test

The Supreme Court has ordered that the Congress leader ND Tiwari has to undergo blood test for DNA in relation to a paternity case filed by one Rohit Sharma. ND Tiwari who denied the claim of Rohit even showed reluctance to undergo DNA test.

Notably on April 27 a local court in Delhi has ruled that police can intervene and take the blood sample from Tiwari in case he doesn’t co-operate for DNA test. Mr. Tiwari challenged the decision of the court in the Supreme Court and the apex court has ruled that he Tiwari has to give blood sample for DNA test.

It may be recalled that a person named Rohit Sharma, who is in his early 30s, approached the court claiming that he was the biological son of N D Tiwari. He has even produced photographs as evidences that prove N D Tiwari’s connection with Mr. Sharma. Tiwari attended the birthday celebration of Rohit Sharma.

It may be noted that Tiwari was the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and he was called back by the Centre after the vernacular news channels in Andhra Pradesh aired footage that showed Tiwari in compromising positions with a couple of girls.

The Congress party so far didn’t make any comments on this leader. Even when he was called back as the Governor, the party preferred to maintain silence. The calling back itself proved that the Centre felt he was unfit to sit in the coveted post.

Earlier, in September 2012, a Judge at Delhi High Court said the politician cannot be physically compelled to submit his blood sample. And in fresh development, today another Judge at Delhi High Court has over ruled that decision and ordered him to undergo DNA test. (Phani)
